About one-third of Cancer death in the United States are diet related. The American Cancer Society recommends Indian River oranges and orange juice because they are nutrient – dense, rich in Vitamin C and contain fiber, all of which reduce the risk for certain types of cancer.
Heart disease claims nearly one million lives each year. Indian River grapefruit and grapefruit juice are fat-free and cholesterol-free. They meet the AHA certification guidelines as part of a “Heart Healthy” balanced diet.
Each year 2,500 babies are born with birth defects of the brain and spinal cord. Studies show that consuming folic acid daily before conception and during early pregnancy reduces the risk by 50%. Two large glasses of orange juice provide more than half of the daily recommended amount of folic acid.
